MIT’s Technology Review announced today that Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) has been included in the 2012 TR50, Technology Review’s annual list of the world’s most innovative technology companies. Technology Review’s editors look for companies that over the last year have demonstrated original and valuable technology, are bringing that technology to market at a significant scale and are clearly influencing their competitors. Spanning energy, computing, the Web, biomedicine, and materials, the companies on the list represent commercial innovations most likely to change lives around the world.

“Qualcomm, long an important company in wireless communications, is doing intriguing work in displays for mobile devices. Its low-power mirasol display—which is modeled on a butterfly wing—provides full color even in bright sunlight,” said Jason Pontin, Editor in Chief and Publisher. Qualcomm is also being recognized for its innovative work with augmented reality, Snapdragon chipsets, wireless healthcare, and other industry-changing mobile technologies.

“We are thrilled to be honored on Technology Review’s annual list of most innovative companies,” said Matt Grob, the company’s chief technology officer. “Qualcomm is continually looking to push the boundaries of what’s possible in mobile: from improving how efficiently your phone runs, to defining new ways to communicate and interact with your friends, to dreaming up new ways mobile devices can improve our lives – and then making them a reality.”
